South Dakota Game Production Areas

The South Dakota Department of Fish and Wildlife has banned geocaches in Game Production Areas and Walk in Areas statewide. These areas are hunting lands managed by the Game and Fish Department. This does not include State Parks and Recreation areas, but note that State Parks require permission from the park superintendent for cache placements.

The Department has asked that existing caches be removed. Please note that reviewers will not go search out existing caches for archival, but will respond to should be archived notes. I ask that cachers who have caches in Game Production areas go and retrieve their caches and archive the pages.

A map of of the areas affected can be found here.
